Wyoming

Wyoming is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of Feb 2026, the population of Wyoming is estimated at around 10,065, reflecting a decrease of 46 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 10,111. This estimate is based on AreaSearch's validation of new addresses and examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, indicating a resident population of 10,045 with an additional 5 validated new addresses since the Census date. The population density ratio is 1,409 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth in recent periods for Wyoming. For projections, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a base year of 2022 for covered SA2 areas and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for uncovered areas.

Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas from 2032 to 2041, indicating an overall population decline of 112 persons by 2041 but growth in specific age cohorts, notably the 85 and over age group projected to increase by 343 people.

The level of residential development activity in Wyoming is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Wyoming has seen around 7 new homes approved each year. Over the past five financial years, between FY21 and FY25, approximately 39 homes were approved, with an additional 2 approved so far in FY26. Despite population decline, development activity has been adequate relative to other areas, offering more affordable housing options for buyers at an average construction cost value of $268,000, below the regional average.

This financial year, Wyoming has registered $2.2 million in commercial approvals, indicating a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wyoming has significantly less development activity, 80.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints. New building activity shows 88.0% standalone homes and 12.0% medium and high-density housing, sustaining Wyoming's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. With around 1542 people per dwelling approval, Wyoming reflects a highly mature market.

Given the expected stable or declining population, Wyoming should see reduced pressure on housing, potentially creating opportunities for buyers.
